Program accomplishments
- Buford Highway Orchestra Program. The Buford Highway Orchestra Program continues to pave paths for the corridor's children while building strong and lasting, community engagements and connectivity. The year started with 32 returning students and 35 interested students for our 2024-2025 NEW BHOP Beginning Orchestra Cohort. In March, BHOP Children Orchestra attended the Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) Large Group Performance Evaluation (LGPE) Level II/III, and the team received 4 Superior ratings, highest given at the evaluation. An original documentary by Xerophile Studios, through a grant by the Latino Public Broadcasting's Digital Media Fund, tells the story of BHOP, which serves immigrant families along Buford Highway - Georgia's most diverse corridor. Told through cinéma vérité, carefully crafted scenes and personal archival footage, La Orquesta tells a different kind of immigrant story - one that centers art, beauty and the transformative power of music. The film is set to release for public viewing in 2025. We served 57 students in 24/25 school year of 14 local district schools, 4 community performances.
